9 More Amazing Video Games (You Can’t Actually Play Anymore)

1. Deadpool

I mentioned in the last article I wrote on this topic that just about every Spider-Man game made by Activision ended up being pulled following the publisher losing the license a few years ago, but that actually extended to pretty much every Marvel-related game the company got their hands on.

Deadpool, however, suffered a fate worse than most, as it actually got delisted twice, and at the time of writing, remains inaccessible.

This tie-in was a little rough around the edges, but its blend of melee and ranged combat made it a surprisingly fun actioner, while the character's signature humour was present in spades, right down to how the developers chose to present things like QTEs, which the character would comment on in-game.

It was pulled in 2016 after enjoying a re-release on next-gen consoles (probably to capitalise on the new film), but showed back up on Steam and the PS store later that year only in American territories. The revival didn't last long though, and the game was pulled down again late in 2017.
